The role of Gurdaspur Superintendent of Police (SP) Salwinder Singh, who was abducted and later left unhurt by the terrorists during Pathankot onslaught, has come under scanner as the keeper of Panj Pir Dargah to which Singh claimed to be a frequent visitor has denied seeing him before at the shrine.
Refuting Singh’s claims that he has been a regular visitor to the shrine, Som said that he had never seen him before at the religious place.
He further revealed that Singh’s jeweller friend Rajesh Verma, who had never been to the shrine earlier, had also visited the shrine on the same day twice.
The shrine is said to be just a few kilometers away from Bamiyal area in Punjab from where the terrorists are believed to have infiltrated.
The SP might have played a crucial role in the Pathankot attacks as it is believed that he could have also provided logistical support to the terrorists.
Singh during initial questioning had claimed that he was abducted by heavily-armed terrorists and later released unharmed.
As per sources, Singh is likely to be taken into custody. The SP might have played a crucial role in the Pathankot attacks as it is believed that he could have also provided logistical support to the terrorists.
There is suspicion over his late night visit to the Panj Pir dargah as there was already a terror alert in the area and the SP went unarmed to such an isolated area.
